Cleveland Clinic CWRU Nurse Anesthesia Program — frequently asked

What GPA does Cleveland Clinic CWRU Nurse Anesthesia Program require?

Cleveland Clinic CWRU Nurse Anesthesia Program lists a science GPA of at least 3.0. Minimums are a floor, not a target — admitted applicants are frequently above them, so treat the stated number as the bar to clear rather than the goal.

How much ICU experience does Cleveland Clinic CWRU Nurse Anesthesia Program require?

At least 12 months of critical-care experience. Most programs want that experience to be recent, in an adult ICU, and at high acuity — the unit you work in usually matters as much as the number of months.

How long is the Cleveland Clinic CWRU Nurse Anesthesia Program program?

36 months of full-time study, awarding the DNP. Nurse anesthesia programs are front-loaded and clinically intense; most discourage working during the program.

How much does Cleveland Clinic CWRU Nurse Anesthesia Program cost?

Cleveland Clinic CWRU Nurse Anesthesia Program doesn't state a program total. Its published rate works out to $182,612 in tuition — that's our calculation, not a figure the program states (2026-2027 (Summer 2026 - Spring 2027) rates). Books, living costs and any fees not included come on top, and because most students can't work much during the program, budget for living expenses across its full length.

Cleveland Clinic CWRU Nurse Anesthesia Program's application deadline is Jun 1 each year; the next one is Jun 1, 2027. Deadlines shift year to year — always verify the current cycle on the program's own page.
